Our current obsession Cherry Bombe magazine announced the line-up for the second annual Jubilee food conference, in which lady chefs and awesome ladies in general gather to talk about food and issues. Last year’s conference had stellar speakers like Christina Tosi, April Bloomfield, Kristin Kish, Gabrielle Hamilton, and Ruth Reichl; this year, the speaker lineup is no short of awesome either. Joining Bloomfield in her second go-round of speaking? Dominique Crenn (Michelin-starred bad-a**), Ina Garten (Taylor Swift’s bestie and therefore our de facto bestie), Vivian Howard (star of A Chef’s Life aka “chef we most want to be like”), Padma Lakshmi (Top Chef judge and object of Andy Cohen’s affections), and “other surprises.”
It’s a cool mix of women too: beyond the recognizable lady chef names, there are up-and-comers
And if you can’t afford tickets this Galentine’s Day, the conference will be broadcast by Heritage Radio Network for later listening. We say “treat yo’self” (how many more Parks and Recreation references can we fit into one story?) and get it — it’s the empowerment event of the year.
